Activision and Treyarch have announced today that a third Call of Duty: World at War map pack, “Locked and Loaded,” is due for release in August.
“Locked and Loaded” will feature three new multiplayer maps -- “Battery,” “Revolution,” and “Breach” -- along with one new Zombie Mode map, “Der Riese.” As expected, these will be available for download on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; no word on pricing.
It’s a bit surprising to see content for World at War still continues to get released, especially as we get closer to the release of Modern Warfare 2. Still, World at War is still a pretty popular online multiplayer game, and I suppose it doesn’t hurt to keep the Call of Duty brand fresh in everyone’s mind going in the holiday.
Do you guys think that World at War will continue to be relevant once Modern Warfare 2 hits shelves? Or will gamers only be playing these new maps for a few months before moving on?

Yes its the cold war reportedly
Treyarch DLC has been top notch so far and they deserve some recognition.
Yes, it's about the cold war. Supposedly they have removed all shooting mechanics, and all you do is sit around mumbling about nuclear war, occasionally yelling at some cubans. The game ends with you breaking down a wall with a hammer.
It's nice to see Treyarch still supporting COD:WaW though :] I'll pick it up.
I think by now I've played World at War more then 4. And I have no intentions of picking up MW2 until there is a price drop unless I get pressured into it, so WaW still has plenty of life in it for me. Especially since I rarely bother with 4 anymore.
I'ld like to see a full clean break in CoD. And see CoD:MW3 in like 4 years time. But, with IW making the single player and Trey arch making about 30 multiplayer maps. :D best online shooter ever if that happened.
Or a map algorthym which randomly generates parts of the map. mild loading time delay but it would make every replay of a map fresh! til everyones played the 500 iteration of every individual map out there. so a technical potential of 15000 maps :)
I think they would do this about the time MW2 comes out.
(( Perfect Timing about Oct. 13th. & then a sale on Xmas. ))
Zombie Map Pack...
The Zombie maps are the only thing I play.
